We have a similar situation on Youtube - the site itself doesn't pay the creators anymore. But everyone who had Youtube as a profession is still there. Some depend on a Patreon-like service, some on their own sponsorships.

Youtube has backed down a lot, but they're still paying their golden geese.

Spiffing britt has let a new recent video payouts out of the bag, a good multi-million hit view video still nets him around 20k.

I meant because of sanctions they don't receive anything from Youtube itself. Yet they go on.
